The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 76

After Yan Jue finished tidying everything, she returned to her Shuiyun Sect dormitory. The sky was already completely dark.

Only then did Yan Jue start to tend to the injuries on her face from the competition this afternoon.

Fortunately, they were only minor scratches from sword auras. An immortal cultivator’s body naturally recovers well, and the marks were basically gone now.

Yan Jue took out a box of ointment from her Qiankun pouch and slowly applied it to her face.

Her whole body ached.

The life or death battle against Duan Luxi, although seemingly simple on the surface, had been extremely physically demanding due to the need to constantly evade Duan Luxi’s sword auras.

After finishing, just as Yan Jue was about to climb into bed, she suddenly heard the fluttering of wings outside the window.

A snow white celestial crane flew to her windowsill, a flower basket still hanging from its neck.

There was something in the flower basket.

Yan Jue immediately went to the window and picked up the item from the basket.

A short note.

Yan Jue paused slightly, then unfolded the note.

Qi Xianqing:

Heard you were injured in the duel. How are you now.

The handwriting on the note was strong and the message was still concise and clear.

When Qi Xianqing wasn’t competing, she was very busy.

She had to be a referee, set up the venue, and even handle diplomatic duties for Five Dragons Mountain.

The fact that Qi Xianqing, despite being so busy, could still take the time to write her a letter made Yan Jue’s heart suddenly soften.

Yan Jue stared at the lines of text for a long time, slowly folded the note, and put it into a drawer.

She took out a new piece of paper, dipped her brush in ink, and was about to write.

Yan Jue’s eyes suddenly darted around, and she wrote:

Senior Sister, your apprentice was bullied today.

Yan Jue then drew a crying face after the long sentence and placed it into the crane’s basket.

Yan Jue woke up in bed and squinted at the sunlight outside the window for a long time.

She had to go to the competition again later…

Unknowingly, it was already the fourth day of the Five Dragons Summit.

The entire Five Dragons Summit had passed its halfway point in the blink of an eye.

Yan Jue’s peripheral vision suddenly caught something, and she froze slightly.

A short note was placed on her desk.

It was Qi Xianqing’s reply from last night.

Yan Jue opened her eyes, unfolded the note, and read the clean, crisp line of handwriting.

Who.

Is it about Zhu He.

It seemed the little pig demon had already found Qi Xianqing.

Yan Jue, wearing inner clothes and slippers, went to her desk and wrote a highly embellished account of what happened in the Spirit Beast Hall yesterday on the note.

She called the little pig demon stupid… and called me a…

Yan Jue then took out a crumpled voucher from her pocket.

This was the note she had asked Bai Chuli to write for her yesterday when she gave Bai Chuli three thousand high-grade spirit stones, serving as proof that she had paid the compensation.

She put it in the basket to send to Qi Xianqing along with the note.

Yan Jue knew that Qi Xianqing had always been protective of her own.

Because she was Qi Xianqing’s disciple, anyone who bullied her was disrespecting Qi Xianqing, the Prime Disciple of Zhenhuo Sect.

So, she wasn’t panicking much when she gave Bai Chuli of the Spirit Beast Hall the money yesterday. If she suffered a loss, she had Qi Xianqing to back her up.

Hahaha.

Yan Jue sat at the desk, watched the celestial crane fly away, then tidied up her things and headed to the Five Dragons Plaza.

When Yan Jue arrived at the Five Dragons Plaza, she immediately went to the contestant registration board.

Upon finding her name, the smile she had maintained on her face instantly vanished.

The names were glaringly written on the board:

Yan Jue – Lin Xi.

What kind of joke was this? She was actually matched against Lin Xi.

Yan Jue remembered that Lin Xi was an inner disciple of the Jingang Sect.

Her Dharma artifact was a huge fire breathing gourd, and she had already reached the late stage of the Illumination Realm a long time ago.

Since going on a mission to Empty Mountain with Lin Xi last time, she hadn’t seen Lin Xi again.

After such a long absence, she suspected that Lin Xi might have already reached the Fusion Realm.

The sun was strong, and Yan Jue’s forehead was sweating as she looked at the contestant registration board.

It was evident from yesterday’s match with Duan Luxi.

The further the Five Dragons Summit competition went, the more difficult it became.

“You’re actually against Senior Sister Lin Xi,” Du Ming comforted her from the side. “It’s okay. No matter who the opponent is, you can’t lose your morale. Even if you lose, as long as you can learn something useful, it’s fine.”

These were the exact words Yan Jue had used to comfort Du Ming a few days ago.

Yan Jue nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

The bell in the Five Dragons Plaza rang, and when Yan Jue arrived at her martial arts stage, many people were already standing below.

Since the first three days of the competition had eliminated many participants, there were many more onlookers below the stage.

As Yan Jue walked onto the martial arts stage, Lin Xi had not yet appeared.

Yan Jue expressionlessly did some warm-up exercises and heard whispers from the crowd below.

“I didn’t think Yan Jue would actually survive until the fourth match…”

“I watched Yan Jue’s first three matches. Her first opponent was Ke Shuang, her second was Qin Yingwei, and her third was Duan Luxi. None of them were weak; although they weren’t exactly strong, they were still respectable within their sects. How is this possible?”

“That Senior Sister Duan Luxi yesterday had already broken through to the Fusion Realm…”

“Could it be that Yan Jue really isn’t a good-for-nothing anymore?”

“But recently, I haven’t seen her with Junior Brother Chu Fu. Could it be that her cultivation progressed so slowly before because she was in a relationship?”

Although there were still some discordant voices, the completely one sided situation from before had improved greatly.

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Lin Xi, dressed in the uniform purplish red robe of a Jingang Sect disciple, slowly walked onto the stage.

She looked up at Yan Jue, who tilted her head and smiled at her in a friendly manner.

Lin Xi couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

It had been so long since they went to Empty Mountain together, yet Yan Jue’s Qi was still at the Foundation Establishment Realm…

Lin Xi had some understanding of this Junior Sister, knowing she was low-key and practiced Concealment Arts.

She didn’t expect to be matched against her this time.

Logically speaking, such an opponent made Lin Xi even more apprehensive than others.

Because you had absolutely no idea what her true strength was.

Yan Jue cupped her hands towards Lin Xi: “Senior Sister.”

Lin Xi nodded: “Lin Xi, Jingang Sect.”

At the same time, a handsome young man stood below the martial arts stage, having appeared there unnoticed.

Chu Fu stared at the two people on the stage, his expression slightly grim.

Having absorbed Yan Jue’s Yin essence a few days ago, he had now broken through to the middle stage of the Fusion Realm.

Just standing there, he exuded an awe-inspiring Qi.

And how was this woman able to withstand the first three rounds of the competition after having her Yin essence drawn out by him?

It was understandable. Chu Fu quickly figured it out after a moment of thought.

The biggest difference between a Pure Yin Body and an ordinary woman was that ordinary women became like mindless sows after losing their Yin essence.

After the Yin essence of a Pure Yin Body was taken, new Yin essence would continuously regenerate.

Everything that happened that night only caused a minor impediment to Yan Jue’s continued advancement, but in other aspects, she was no different from a normal person.

Furthermore, Chu Fu had already noticed something unusual.

His life had been smooth sailing, but ever since this woman started to distance herself from him, he had suffered continuous bad luck.

In the end, he was left with nothing; every woman he had feelings for left him.

He wouldn’t even mention the Senior Sister, but even Lin Xi on the stage now, she used to chat and laugh with him, and seemed to have a good impression of him. But now, when she saw him, she would avoid him with a strange expression.

Chu Fu stared at Yan Jue, feeling an endless wave of disgust and hatred surge into his heart.

As the melodious bell rang, he suddenly unclenched his tightly held fists, and a faint, ethereal red light, barely perceptible, leaked out from between his two fingers, slowly floating above Lin Xi’s head.

The Soul Burning Gu Technique.

Lin Xi was originally standing on the stage, looking at Yan Jue.

For some reason, she suddenly felt her vision turn red.

The heart that had been relatively calm suddenly ignited with an inexplicable fury.

Lin Xi subconsciously closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, her gaze fell upon the fair-skinned, red lipped girl in front of her.

The girl wore a pale blue Daoist robe, her raven black hair cascading over her shoulders, and a dazzling gold necklace around her neck. Her features, illuminated by the sunlight, were like those carved from white jade, and her narrow phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, looking quietly over.

Yan Jue, who had just been fine, now looked utterly displeasing in her eyes!

The match began.

The “Three Wonders of Heaven Array” was activated, and the sunlight fell vertically. The entire martial arts stage instantly transformed into a Mountain of Flames. Yan Jue frowned slightly, feeling like she was walking in a desert.

Scorching heat!

Lin Xi clenched her fist and immediately brought out the giant fire breathing gourd.

The purplish red fire gourd radiated a faint glow in the sky, emitting circles of dense smoke.

Lin Xi silently chanted a spell and let out a soft cry.

In an instant, a fire phoenix burst forth from the fire breathing gourd, letting out a deafening screech, mixed with a scorching, hot vortex of flames, heading directly towards Yan Jue.

Immortal Technique: Fire Phoenix Plunges into the Forest!

The ground instantly shook and the mountains collapsed.

Everyone below the stage was stunned. No one expected Senior Sister Lin Xi to use such a powerful divine ability right at the start!

Yan Jue violently turned sideways, barely dodging Lin Xi’s attack, but her arm was still grazed by the hot fire wave.

Yan Jue stared at Lin Xi’s slightly reddened eyes and was momentarily stunned. She also didn’t understand why Lin Xi, who had just been perfectly fine, was now looking at her as if she wanted to kill her.

Before Yan Jue could react, the purplish-red fire-breathing gourd began to violently shake in the air.

Fire monkeys, fire crows, and fire dragons swept toward her.

For a moment, the martial arts stage was engulfed in a raging heat wave.

“Seriously? Did Yan Jue say something offensive to Lin Xi under the stage just now?”

“Lin Xi’s eyes look like she’s going to kill Yan Jue.”

“I don’t understand women’s hearts. Does Senior Sister Lin, who seems amiable on the surface, also have this kind of impulsiveness?”

On the martial arts stage, Yan Jue’s situation was not good.

Her body tumbled in the flames, and her Daoist robe was scorched by the hot fire.

It had been a long time, and Lin Xi’s cultivation had indeed improved!
